Water company must not care about shortage
I have been trying to get the well-known water company to repair a water leak in front of my mother's house on Cherry Hills Avenue in Bakersfield for the past three weeks. The service man that showed up promptly on the day that I called told me that it was not our problem (imagine the cost of having an open water line for three weeks), and that the water company would be responsible because the break was in their line.
We are still waiting, the neighbors are still waiting and the directors of Kern City are still waiting. The only happy campers are the mosquitoes and other such things that have been able to multiply and frolic in the stagnating stream.
What water shortage are we speaking of? It appears that our water company is clueless.
